This council will be innovative, thinking outside the box to deliver quality infrastructure and finding solutions. My priorities will be to unite my fellow
councillors to work as a cohesive team, advocate for an aquatic study for the whole municipality, focus on children's services, youth, aged and disability
services, better traffic management, better public transport including train stations at Toolern and Caroline Springs, and a 24-hour police station in the
Eastern Corridor.
